Wild - Matthew Sweet

Because I often wear

I wish they weren’t there

I do what I am told

Come in from the cold

The laws will get me down

I want to ditch this town

But when I see you near

It all becomes so clear

At times I feel so mild

Child, you make me want to be wild

Wild, wild, wild

Child, you make me want to be wild

There was a wish I made

To burn before I fade

And go out with a bang

Be a bell that rang

So it is I feel

It’s not so bad to steal

The limelight once in awhile

Just to make you smile

At times I feel so mild

Child, you make me want to be wild

Wild, wild, wild

Child, you make me want to be wild

Bear the brunt of ravages and lacaratings

Welcome all the savages and clean their feelings

This will be the final chance to start the singing

Join me in a loving dance and stop the faking

The fire, the fire in the furnace warms

And I’m a rocket soaring let me take your hand

The light, the light you are the hand that feeds me

You’re the rope that leads me to the promised land

Don’t let your sun set down on me

I need your golden rays

There was a wish I made

To burn before I fade

I found it in your face a very sacred space

You make me light my fuse

I think I found my muse

At times I feel so mild

Child, you make me want to be wild

Wild, wild, wild

Child, you make me want to be wild
